Is this really a 'naughty boy' name?

Nikos (Nikolaos)

I'm not sure I believe in such a tag, but of course names create an impression on people.
I remember a thread a while back on here where someone, maybe a teacher, said that every boy she'd met with the name was a naughty one.

Wasn't on my list for imminent DC until now but it just keeps popping into my head and won't go away. He'd be addressed as Niko (Greek grammar blah blah) and it sounds very sweet to me, but also could suit him through the ages too. Any thoughts?

Hilariously my phone keeps changing it to 'Nokia' - now that I would veto!

Tough decision, Gianna - both are just lovely :)

Ah so many positive replies! Thank you! I'm now torn between that and Alexandros.

What a lovely name, OP :)

Don't worry; it isn't what I think of as a 'naughty boy' name (if such names exist).

Great name, suits all cute boys - even the naughty big ones Grin

Sounds like a memory from a Greek holiday to me !

We had a Niko at school, he was German. He was tall, dark and beautiful. He wasn't 'naughty' but he did have a gilt in his eye...which made you think he just never got caught Grin

Really lovely guy. Good name.
